Calling all flats experts. I have always wanted to have a go at these figures but know little about them. Can anyone tell me which, in their opinion, are the best, most detailed flat figures available and where to get them? I am particularly keen on Napoleonic subjects especially hussars, Guard lancers and mamelukes. hussarbob1746.webs.com |

I'm not sure they're the best, but I visited the Berliner Zinnfiguren store earlier this year and have a blog entry about it. I still haven't painted up my Sudan range that I purchased. Click on the link and scroll towards the bottom. They have great elephants. link Steve

Thank you, for those links. The Berlin shop looks fantastic and I imagine a visit there would prove rather expensive for me!! There is quite an extensive collection at Caillou, Napoleons HQ the night before Waterloo. This really whet my appetite for giving them a go hussarbob1746.webs.com |

Hurry up and buy some flats Rob. I can't wait to see how you bring them to life with your talented brush skills. That would be something nice to see.  |

Is the British Flat Figures forum still going? Tried to register and it wouldn't let me and have sent an email to the webmaster and no response? Very frustrating. hussarbob1746.webs.com |

Rob, Yes, BFFS is quite active. New members are welcome. Simon the webmaster gets behind sometimes but I'm sure he's not simply ignoring you. I'll send him a message about your registration attempt. As for "which is the best", tough question. Great flats have been produced in their thousands. And if Napoleonics are your special interest, there's a surfeit of riches. Steve |
